If you have to set a limit, then I agree that the general principle of viability is how you have to set it and that 24 weeks is reasonable - even if there are exceptions who make it at that age. Maybe I'd go a week or two lower, but I'm understanding of the legislators' reasons for setting it where they do.
That's about right. Abortion should not be a form of contraception but the life of the mother must take absolute paramountcy over the life of the unborn foetus. Severely handicapped and product of rape and so forth should be aborted whenever, no limits. The religious crap about abortion is driven more by their desire to overpopulate the world so there's plenty of cash for them in this world and souls in the next and not due to the sanctity of life - they have been happy to behead, stone, burn and otherwise extinguish life over the centuries when it suits them. All of them.
